More women are paying alimony “Many women, no matter how educated, how professional, how modern they are, are surprised to learn that they might have to pay alimony,” said Marzano-Lesnevich (Welcome to equality).

I personally believe alimony is unfair. I hope this gets more common because nobody cars when something unfair happens to men. Maybe things will change now that it is happening to women.

‘I literally could not believe it’

Paying alimony is something Sarah Gilbert never thought she would have to do, but the 44-year-old mom of three boys now sends $349 a month to her ex-husband. The Portland, Ore. resident says the experience has made her never want to get married again, even though she’s now in a happy relationship.

Welcome to men's world.

The problem is, as I understand it, women may be assessed CS, but they rarely pay it, or pay the full amount. I don't know about alimony though.

Not so fun when they're the victims

I just had to chuckle at this one... reads like something people on /r/MGTOW would say (or understand). Strange... you put a women in the exact same situation and her reaction is the exact same as that of many men.

I think you can imagine how the article would read if it was a man making this statement...

Just wanted to say that 40% of women breadwinners is a misleading figure.

Was it good for the goose? For decades, it was. Congratulations ladies, you got what you wanted. Enjoy.

One over-the-top example: A female business executive with a seven-figure income whose husband made far less money than she did ended up supporting her ex’s expensive online pornography habit with her alimony payments, Marzano-Lesnevich told MarketWatch.

LOL vagina cheerleading. Is this some kind of joke? Who actually pays for porn? Of those who do, does it cost even as much as maintaining this woman's shoe collection?

Equality. Sucks, doesn't it?

I think Alimony should be a thing of the past entirely.

However, if it applies to men, it should also apply equally to women.

I'm surprised to see so many of my fellow mra's here react sarcastically. I thought they'd welcome the increase in female alimony payers, because one of our arguments is that it's not fair for men always being expected to provide.

I'm also surprised about the headline, because being female it does not suprise me at all that I might have to pay alimony; that's just a logical (and fair of course) consequence if we women start to work more. The word 'duh' comes to mind.

Maybe we’ll finally have an alimony reform bill enacted!

"ayy lmao"

My mom once asked me "Would you ever marry a woman who makes more money than you?"
My response was simply "Find me a woman who would actually date a man who makes less than them, and I'll consider it."
